We’ll need many, many volunteers for each set of dates. We’ll need volunteers during the day and evening. We’ll need folks who speak Spanish throughout the time for general communication and making travel arrangements. We’ll need two volunteers spend the night, one of them a Spanish speaker.
Teams will include:
- Welcome, Worship, & Recreation
- Travel Scheduling & Transportation, Set up, Sendoff Preparation, & Clean up
- Clothing, Restroom & Shower Staffing
- Meal Preparation
We need volunteers ahead of these dates to sort through donated clothing and supplies. Please let us know if you can serve in this way.
As we figure out the logistics of this ministry, we ask for your patience and forgiveness as we adjust to ever-changing circumstances. We’re on God’s adventure together! Thank you!
